Reinprecht appeared for the first time on October 28, 1379 as a (regional) captain on the Enns , and he was likely to have held this office until his death. The Walseers, loyal followers of the Habsburgs , held this office for 190 years from the end of the 13th century with short interruptions.

In 1408 Reinprecht called the representatives of the estates to the first joint Ob- and Unterdennsischen Landtag in Enns .

Valvasor has preserved an inscription on an epitaph in the Augustinian monastery church in Fiume ( Croatian: Rijeka ):

"Anno MCCCC male extinctis DD de Tybein, seu de Duino, investitur Reinpertus de Walsee de bonis eorum Duino, Senoseza, Gueteneg, Flumine, Castum, Vaprinitz & Moscheniza, de quibus ultimis, olim spectantibus ad Polensem Episcopum investitus fuit from Episcopo ea lege, ut quemquis novum Praesulem nova donatione honoraret duorum canum venaticorum unius Asturis & sweater elegant ornati ”

He received the latter as a fief from the Bishop of Pola with the condition that each of his successors should be given two hunting dogs, a falcon and an elegantly harnessed colt. "
